Much of what happens in the middle of the night for the homeless is being awakened by a classic street sweep. No rest, as if resting on a park bench or the steps of a local business for the night is really rest. Wouldn’t it best to just let one sleep. Tonight the homeless can rest thanks to SafeGround Sacramento.
Today SafeGround Sacramento held a march/rally for a great cause! SafeGround’s mission today was to help the homeless have a safe and legal place to stay until the housing issues are resolved.
According to Channel 10 ABC News, SafeGround Sacramento efforts didn’t go unnoticed! The city has agreed to allow those who are homeless to stay at a small park, just at the end of Bercut Drive, in Sacramento for 24 hrs to rest. It’s only one night, but making any difference is great! Thank you SafeGround for all that you do! And of course, thank you Mama for being part of something so great. Please visit SafeGround Sacramento’s website at http://www.safegroundsac.org/ and help out with this great cause.

Thanks my lovely daughter. Now the safe ground residents are staying near the VOA shelter on Bannon Street but will have to move again by tomorrow or the next day, so they had another week to stay together and build up their solidarity before they have to find yet another site.
Mama, you are an inspiration. A HERO to say the least. I love you.

This was a great post and a wonderful way to bring awareness to what sounds like a great program. We need more officials and more people to stand up for homeless people. We really need to work harder to care for other people. As humans it is our obligation.
